Dear GECKO Supporters,
It's been a month since our last update. Since then, we've been working hard on planning on our activities for this year, including hiring a new member of our team to coordinate our partnership with AIESEC!
I'm writing to you today because we’re excited to be gathering teams of Chinese university student volunteers to bring the GECKO program to schools in Moganshan, a beautiful mountain 3 hours outside Shanghai. The program will kick off with a “Big Litter Pick” on March 8th!
In collaboration with the eco-resort naked Retreats as part of their naked Green Initiative Month, we will be training 4 different teams of 4 student trainers to run cross-cultural environmental workshops with participating local schools (Moganshan and Paitou Middle Schools), as well as international schools in the Moganshan area.
This is the second installment of our partnership with naked Retreats. It will run throughout March and April with the goal of reaching out to over 1,000 high school students.
Thank you so much for your support - and expect an update in March on how the program goes!
We'll soon be publishing our official Greennovate 2009 Annual Report, but in the mean feel free to check out our website at http://www.greennovate.org to see what we've accomplished in 2009.
Feel free to leave comments below!
Thanks,
Schuyler Olsson
